Excellent detail on the little guy, really like the vertical framing/comp Yun.
Very good light & the hyssop not only makes a great perch, but provides a beautiful/colorful overall setting too..
Very well done & have a great weekend!

Really like this. The butterfly is really sharp considering it was handheld and the out of focus fore and aft works very well. Graham

Yun,
This is simply a beautiful composition, the placement of the Blue and inclusion of the lower Hyssop is inspired. Excellent detail and colors with an superb background.
Well done . . .

Beautiful bokeh, colors, and comp. The detail in the wings contrasts nicely with the OOF background. Very pleasing.

Hi Yun,
Looks good with ideal soft lighting. You must have been out early to catch this one sleeping. BG is colorful and soft enough for separation.........................Jim

Gorgeous, Yun. I like the bit of cram and the precise selective focus on the bf in the soft setting. The floral setting is beautiful. This is one of those relatively rare bf images that would make a great print because it is just so pretty overall.

Beautiful work, Yun. The hazy plant with the delicate BF make for a great composition! Superb!
